Application

D-Gluconic acid is a non-volatile, organic acid generally used as a sequestering agent and as a scale inhibitor. Due to its tendency to chelate with earth alkaline elements and heavy metals, it is also used as a metal extractant. Gluconic acid and its salts are
used in hygienic products, food and pharmaceutical industry.
